Editor Dialog

• ID: The ID, also referred to as Editor ID, is used by the Creation Kit to uniquely identify this record within a Data File.
• Name: This object's name as it will appear within user interface menus or when the player looks at it. Not displayed in game.
• Art File: The NIF file to be used; for example "TurnUndeadHazard.Nif" for the ringed effect for the turn undead spell.
• Lifetime: Duration of the effect. If set to 0.0, the Hazard lasts indefinitely.
• Limit (0=no limit): The maximum number of the Hazard that can be present at once. (When the limit is passed, hazards will be removed, with the oldest ones being removed first.)
• Radius: This is the radius of the area of influence of the Hazard.
• Target Interval: Interval in seconds between each Hazard effect's casting/activation, ie. setting to 5 will activate effects of Hazard once every 5 seconds. If the effect is a magic spell, this is the interval in seconds between each spell casted by the Hazard's effect. eg. if this value is set to 5 s. and the spell has a duration of 60 s., then the next cast will happen 65 s. after the current cast (5 s. after the current casted spell).
• IS Radius: The radius within which the specified IS Mod is applied.
• Light: A Light to attach to the Hazard.
• Spell: The concentration spell to apply to any Actors within the Hazard's radius. Note: the "Caster" is always unaffected by the Hazard.
• Sound: The Sound Descriptor to play.
• IS Mod: The ImageSpace Modifier to use. This will be applied when the camera is within the IS Radius.
